Make 'Em Pay
In 1882, the US Navy shelled a Tlingit village in Alaska and burned it to the ground. Recently, after almost 150 years, the Navy is apologizing, along with apologies for other such incidents. Now, obviously, the incidents were immoral -- dhould never have happened -- but I'm not sure how a naval officer today apologizing for something the Navy would never do today is of any benefit to anyone living today. I don't see how holding someone accountable today for what was done more than 100 years ago makes sense. Well, okay, whatever. I suppose we'll need to put that on our list of reparations.
This is News
Starbucks made the news by telling office workers ... they had to come to work. Imagine that! The youngest generation complains that 8 hours a day is too much and office workers are outraged that they'd actually have to ... work in an office. Between COVID, government regulation, and societal pressures, we're choking free enterprise to death. Before long they won't be able to make any choices about their own businesses, and that can't be a good thing ... for employers, employees, or the nation as a whole.
Silence Isn't Always Golden
The Washington Post (WaPo) has refused to endorse a candidate, and the world goes crazy. They reported the loss of 250,000 subscribers not for what they said, but for what they didn't say. James Carville is quite sure the mass exit is an endorsement (by readers) of Kamala. So clearly the public demand is that WaPo not only endorse a candidate, but that they endorse the Left candidate. Which suggests that WaPo readers have no interest in an unbiased news source. I suppose we knew that, but it doesn't bode well for a "free press" ... or rational Americans.
Defining the Enemy
I'm just wondering. When did Elon Musk become "the enemy"? In his early days, he was hailed as a godsend. His electric cars were magnificent. He might even save the planet!! (Okay, no one said that last bit.) But when he ceased toeing the line politically, he became public enemy #1. Okay, #2. Trump has #1 wrapped up tight. So now they want him to stop launching satellites. The California Coastal Commission has already sued to stop Musk (and no one else) from using Vandenberg. What made Musk, the entrepreneur, the enemy of the state?
Choose Wisely
North Korea has tested an intercontinental ballistic missile days before the election. They claim it can hit the US. I sincerely hope that Harris gets elected so she can hit North Korea with such a word salad that they would never dare to do it. Or ...
Your Best Source for Fake News
The Supreme Court ruled that Virginia could remove noncitizens from their voter rolls (actual story) ... you know, like the law says ... and the Democrats are miffed because the court ruled in favor of adhering to the law. How can our system survive if the courts rule in favor of the law?? Joe Biden called on deplorable "garbage" (in the form of Trump supporters) to tone down the rhetoric (actual story), and Trump scores a coveted endorsement from Hefty.
Must be true; I read it on the Internet.
